Got up to a good friends for a 3 day bear hunt in Muskoka. The weather was awful the first night with pouring rain and heavy lightning. At one point I decided the lightning rod I was standing on was not a safe place to be, lowered my knapsack and gun and got half way down the ladder and noticed a bear coming into the bait at 30 yards. I raced back up the lightning rod , pulled up my gun and watched the small bear feed on the bait for about 5 min. After a super close lightning strike he bolted and got out of there fast. The storm cleared and a tiny little bear maybe 60 pounds came in and was also given a pass. At one point he climbed a tree 15 yards away and was perfectly level with me in the tree. Very cool and extremely wet sit. Next night I had a nicer sit passing on 3 different bears, nice bears just not the tank I was hoping for. The 3 rd and final day of the hunt I sat all day and no bears showed up. Had a great time and enjoyed every minute. This bear fed on the bait for almost an hour. |
